Counseling Experience

Ronald Surgeon is a psychotherapist who specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. For those feeling overwhelmed by a past that haunts them, gnawing anxiety, communication breakdowns, or long-standing negative beliefs, he offers this reassurance: they’re not alone — and they don’t have to navigate it alone.

Ronald’s approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care. He also holds certifications in trauma and life coaching, and he’s worked with both individuals and couples to help restore emotional balance, strengthen communication, and support lasting change.

At the heart of his work is a simple mission: to create a safe, healing environment where people can access transformation. Clients learn evidence-based tools, discover their next steps, and build the skills to feel more confident in managing their emotional world — almost like becoming their own therapist.

Whether someone is in the middle of a crisis or just tired of feeling stuck, Ronald walks alongside them through the highs and lows. He wants his clients to feel seen, known, and resourced — to live in the tension of both the beauty and difficulty of life with courage, hope, and freedom.

Taking the first step is powerful. For those ready to begin, he’s honored to do the work together.

Coaching Experience

I am excited for you to experience the powerful process of coaching. You have probably asked, “How do I know if I need coaching?” You don’t. No one needs a coach. Coaching must be something you want.

So you know how a lot of people struggle with knowing who they are or what they REALLY want, they are stuck – wanting something of significance, but they are afraid of the change they have to make to get it. Others are burnt out, busy, and want off of the hamster wheel. Life is in constant transition.

Perhaps they are simply dissatisfied or perplexed. Maybe they have wonderful aspirations and are unsure how to get there. But maybe they are at the top of the mountain and don’t like the view. Regardless of the situation, coaching can help. I can meet you there- wherever there is – together we can break through with courage, overcome blocks, and locate the place you desire to be.

I’m Ronald Surgeon, a Certified Life Coach, speaker, consultant, and trainer with a background as a licensed counselor. These skills and training converge to create space for you to grow, discover the possibilities, and become more of who you are made to be. Coaching is an experience in which people are helped to realize what seems out of grasp and live in the realm of possibility and fulfillment. Whether you want help with your professional life or simply with life in general, come, let’s create together.
